Hours later, when the guests had left and only the members of the Takagi family remained—plus who would be a new member of the family…
"The best birthday of my life, I must say. You know we've always considered you a member of our family, Takashi. But officially, you will be in a few years," Souichirou declared, cheerful in a natural way, as they saw him. Saya didn't pull away from Takashi's arm, showing herself affectionate and happy about her boyfriend's proposal. It wasn't that his daughter was a burden, but he knew well that Komuro was the one in whom Saya's trust could be placed.
"What can I say? I love Saya, and it was good to have realized it," he commented, looking at his fiancée, who hadn't let go of his hand since the moment of the proposal.
"About how the prettiest girl was always beside you, yes!!" She still kept her high pride, Saya.
"If I may, who knows," Yuriko said, drinking a glass of nothing but water while her husband kept drinking sake.
"Dear, you haven't had alcohol the whole party. Are you feeling well?" her husband asked after noticing, but deciding to wait until after the party.
"Well, there's something you should know, Souichirou." It was time to tell the truth. "I wanted to tell you at the party, but I didn't want to steal the attention from Saya or Takashi-kun."
"Is everything alright, Yuriko-san?" Komuro asked, tense but well hidden.
"Honey, I'm pregnant!"
Her husband nearly dropped the glass he held. Saya was stunned, and Komuro's mouth hung open in shock. Even the employees finishing cleaning the main hall froze upon hearing such enormous news.
"I'm going to have another child!" Souichirou was so happy.
"I'm going to have a little brother?!" Saya was astonished.
"Or a sister, daughter," Yuriko commented, her hand beneath her right cheek.
'I'm going to have a child.' That was Komuro's thought after hearing, holding back the urge to tell Souichirou that this possible son or daughter was his and not his.
In the end, who was Yuriko's lover, huh?
Days later,
At school, where Komuro during school hours, had the first three of his second harem. Saya didn't keep the news waiting from her rivals.
"Look and burn it into your memory, Miyamoto," Takagi boasted loudly, showing off her engagement ring to her two rivals, but especially to a certain always-proud chestnut-haired girl.
"Pretty," Miku said without much surprise, looking at the ring on her finger.
"It's not fair! I'm supposed to be Takashi's first wife!" Rei shouted after holding back her anger in vain, confronting Takashi. "Why don't you say anything?" She looked at Yuki, who appeared calm about the news.
Without realizing it, thanks to their argument, while they were at the astronomy club, Busujima was once again spying on them without being detected.
It was the only way no one managed to notice how she angrily squeezed her right forearm, furious upon hearing that one of them was taking a bigger lead in the game of love.
"I already said it: you can fight over deciding who will be Takashi's first or second wife. I'll be the mistress, in any case!" She took the boy by the arm to look at both of them like the cat she was.
"You think you'll be Takashi's mistress, bitch. I won't give you even a single second with Takashi." Saya hugged him from his other free arm.
"That's what you think." Yuki wasn't going to lose any part of Takashi.
"Summer vacation starts next week, and my family plans to go on vacation to a tropical paradise. We'll have plenty of alone time." Takagi had a huge advantage.
"Takashi..." Rei started to burn with rage.
"Rei, calm down. Listen, I did it because her father asked me to protect her. Besides, we won't marry soon if that's what you're thinking," the dark-haired boy said, placing his hands on her shoulders. "Relax. Besides, I'll only be with Saya the first week of summer. Although I have plans for the whole summer, I'll manage to give you your moment, Rei. I said I'd make you both happy—well, all three."
Miyamoto took a deep breath, inhaled, and exhaled heavily, then raised her gaze, now calmer. At the same time, Saeko, from her hiding spot, bit her thumb, her face pressed to the wall. Now she knew she had an opportunity too.
"Alright," Rei was calm. "You might have proposed to her first, Takagi. But the position of first wife is still open."
"And what plans exactly do you have?" Miku commented in her always lewd tone.
"Many plans, I can say," he said, troubled. Only Yuki knew Komuro's schemes without asking.
Summer vacation finally arrived. Everyone makes plans when these dates come. Even Takashi had to make plans—plans to be with all his beloved women from his harems.
Although he already had an itinerary made by them, being the longest vacation of the school period, he knew well that even his schedule had to adjust.
"Summer has begun." Takashi was gathered with his six mature women whom he loved in polygamy. "I can't wait to see you all in swimsuits. Tell me, will we keep the same weekly itinerary for now?"
"There are six of us. Summer vacation is eight weeks," Minami said, seated at Komuro's table along with the others, with Komuro at the center.
"Since Yuriko-chan is going to take you with her family for one week, it would be best for each of us to spend a whole week with you, just for this vacation," Kiriko Miyamoto commented, facing Rika.
"I'm sorry, but it's a trip my husband and I have planned for a year, especially because of Takashi and my Saya's sudden engagement," Yuriko said, seated to Miyamoto's left.
"Yeah, sudden engagement." He had discussed the details with Yuriko when she told him in private.
"I like the idea," Shizuka said. "However, there are six of us, and the vacation will be eight weeks."
"In the last week, it will be Takashi-kun's birthday. It would be nice to throw him a special week-long party," Yukka said suggestively, seated to Shizuka's right, with the nurse having her friend to her left.
"I can't wait to find out about it. I must say, the second-to-last week I need to be with my schoolmates. I promised to give them time in what I assumed would be a tight schedule," Takashi commented.
"Yuriko-chan will have Komuro-kun first. Who will be second?" the Miyamoto woman asked.
"Me!" Hayashi stood up about it. "I'd also like to take Takashi-kun on a trip for a few days."
"I'll be third." Rika raised her hand after listening to Alice's mother.
"Fourth!" Shizuka shouted.
"Fifth!" Yukka shouted right after.
"Sixth," Kiriko said, a little disheartened.
The order of the weeks was decided. Each would have Takashi for a week. In the seventh week, he would be with Saya, Rei, and others, while in the last week, a very hot, week-long party would await the dark-haired boy.
"These are going to be some incredible vacations!" Komuro exclaimed with excitement. Just as he said, they would be incredible vacations.
Thus would begin the best summer vacation for Takashi Komuro. However, he would never imagine they could be the last.
To be continued…
